GEORGE LJESO," or GRAFTON, was: VIRGINIA.

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE Lariso, subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Graf ton, in the county of'Taylor and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Fences and Conveyers for the Same, of which the following is a specification; V r

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in portable fences and conveyers for the same. a

The primary object of the invention is to provide a fence incomplete sections ready for assembling and positioned when notin use upon a wagonfor ready transportation ported to the places desired and readily assembled in a fence formation.

With these general objectsin view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims. 1

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like-designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is an end elevational view of the same. Fig. 4.- is a detail vertical sectional view transversely of the section adjacent one of the struts thereof- Fig. 5 is a vertical transverse sectional view through a fence section, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the fence sections set up for use.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, the device broadly consists in providing aplurality of fence sections 10 which are adapted for easy assembling and are removably slidably mounted upon a vehicle 11 for the purpose of transportation. The wagon I 11 has mounting wheels 12 .andis provided Application 'fiiee'a rne, 1915. serial No. 20,196.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented NOV. 23, 1915 with abottom 13 having parallel longitudi-f i nally arranged tracks 14 thereon and extending for its entire length; Opposite end frames 15 are provided having track bars-16 arranged vparallelv and secured between the top 'cross pieces 17 of the said frames, the said bars 16] beingarranged parallel with and directlyabove the bottom tracks 14.

The fence sections 10 are arrangedlwith end posts 18 having top and bottomeXtensions 19 for journaling rollers 20 therein, while the rails 21,0f the fence are arranged parallel extending between the end posts and may be provided withany desired form of pickets 22. Positioning struts 23 are arranged, two in numberjbeing herein shown, and are adjustably mountedfupon the fence sections by means of rods 24 secured centrally to the struts and being slidably journaled through the lower two rails 21. By this arrangement it will be seen that therods 24 may be inwardly positioned with the struts 23 lying slightly spaced below the lower rail 21 and whereupon the rail lugs 25 are brought be tween the spaced lugs 26 arranged adjacent the opposite ends of the struts so that the locking pins 27 may engage said lugs, locking the strutsin their elevated inoperative positions, and in the same vertical plane as the lower fence rail 21. A head 28 is pro- .vided at the upper end of each of the rods 24 to which head opposite chains 29 are attached, the said chains being adapted for engagement by the pins 24 and between the strut lugs 26 when the section is an ranged in its fence formation upon the ground as shown in Fig. 2. Engaging spikes 30 may also be employed extending through the ends of the struts and driven into the ground. By this arrangement of bars 16 above the bottom rails 15, it will be seen that separate fence sections may be readily positioned between these tracks and mounted thereon by means of the upper and lower rollers 20, the sections being slid inwardly upon the wagon .to the positions shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings. When the sections are so arranged upon the wagon, they may be readily retained by arranging.

cross slats 31 upon the cut-away portions 32 of the fence section rails, such slats being secured by means of vertically positioned pins 33 extending through the said rails and slats, the slats being so arranged forwardly of the front posts 15 of the vwagon as best illusscribed.

A wagon of any desired size may be emtrated in Fig. 2. When the fence is desired for use, the Wagon is propelled to the de- 1 sired point and the separate fence sections 10 are slidablyremoved therefrom, and are pushed along upon the lower rollers until the desired location is reached, whereuponthe pins 27. arereleased and thestruts 'revolved to positions perpendicular to. the sections and are lowered upon the ground being retained in the manner l ereinbefore deployed forholding transporting as many fence sectlons asmay be required and the length thereof bein arranged accordingly,

while'the sections will be thus kept in a con;-

venient position for storing when not "inuse;

While the form of the invention herein shown and described is what is believed'to be the preferred embodiment thereof, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made without departing l. A device of the class described comprising'in combination with a wagon having upper and lower spaced tracks arranged there on, fence sections having end. posts, and

wheels journaled in the upper and lower ends of the said posts and adapted for mounting upon the saidwagon between the said upper and lower tracks thereof.

2. A device of the class described comprising in' combination with a wagon having upper and lowerspaced tracks arranged thereomfence' sections having end posts, wheels. journaled in the upper and lower ends of the said posts and adapted for mounting upon the said wagon between the said upper and lower tracksthereof, rods vertically slidably mounted upon the said sections, struts secured to the lower ends of the said rods, and locking means between the said struts and fence sections when the struts are folded against the'bottomthereof.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two. witnesses.
